Stock that knows where it is needed next.
Every SKU at every branch, visible against every other branch. When one location drifts into surplus and another toward a stockout, Mahadangal proposes the transfer - quantity, route and timing - before either becomes a cost.
How inventory & transfer moves through the chain.
Every step below happens against the same live record of every location, so nothing waits for a branch to send a report.
| Branch | Units | vs average | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Andheri | 600 | 240% | Surplus |
| Powai | 262 | 104% | Healthy |
| Kalyan | 178 | 71% | Watch |
| Thane | 80 | 32% | Low stock |
Illustrative figures.
Sense
Branch POS and receiving update stock in real time across the network.
Compare
Each branch is measured against its peer group and its own forecast.
Propose
A transfer is suggested with quantity, source, destination and arrival window.
Confirm
The regional lead approves, the source dispatches, the destination receives.
What Inventory & Transfer includes.
Stock as a share of network average
Each branch's holding is shown relative to similar branches, so 240% of average reads as a problem even when the raw count looks normal.
Suggested inter-branch transfers
Surplus and shortage are paired across branches with a specific quantity, based on forecast demand and the lead time between the two locations.
Transfer orders with full custody
Dispatch, in-transit and received states are recorded against both branches, so stock is never counted twice or lost between locations.
Batch, expiry and serial tracking
Perishables and serialised goods move with their batch and expiry intact, and near-expiry stock is prioritised for branches that will sell it first.
Reorder points per branch
Minimum and maximum levels are set per location from its own sales pattern, not one chain-wide rule applied to every store.
Cycle counts and variance
Scheduled counts per branch with variance reports that separate shrinkage, receiving errors and unrecorded transfers.

About Inventory & Transfer.
Something not covered here? Talk to us about how it would work on your chain.
Do transfers have to be approved by a person?
By default, yes. Suggestions go to the regional approver. You can set rules that auto-approve transfers below a quantity or value threshold between specific branches.
How are transfer quantities calculated?
From the destination's forecast demand over the transfer lead time, the source's safe stock after dispatch, and pack sizes. The reasoning is shown on every suggestion.
Can we transfer between a warehouse and a store?
Yes. Warehouses, depots, dark stores and retail branches are all locations in the same network, and any pair can be a transfer route.
What happens to stock while it is in transit?
It leaves the source branch on dispatch and sits in an in-transit state until the destination confirms receipt, with any quantity difference flagged.
